Provided by the New Mexico State Library, Brainfuse is a service by which students receive academic writing assistance from a network of professional tutors and writing instructional specialists. Submit a draft of your paper to this service, if you:

• are looking for sentence-level writing help, addressing grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and diction.
• would like feedback on coherency and tone of your writing.
• need a hand with academic writing structure: articulating and supporting a thesis, incorporating material from sources, etc.
• would like a second pair of eyes to  gauge how well your draft stays on topic and addresses the content required in the paper assignment

The staff of Quimby Memorial Library is available to provide additional support, specifically on APA formatting and resource citation. If you need a hand adhering to APA guidelines in your writing, contact the library for one-on-on assistance. You may also find the answers you're looking for on QML's expansive APA Style Guide.
